Caddieapp is live! Born from my own frustration with popular #golf apps that show limited data and rely on the phone GPS, I built this #AppleWatch first app to do better. It runs 100% standalone, uses the watch GPS for distances, provides hole layouts, scores, and more. Plus, it's powered by #OpenStreetMap for course maps, which I personally find cool. If you too are tired of incorrect distances and reaching for your phone on the course, check it out https://caddie.app #IndieDev #SwiftUI

@dougburns

Will definitely check this out, thank you so much for sharing.

Can someone please remind me how to open a Lemmy community in kbin? Maybe this is a bigger issue on mobile.

If I open a federated community I see this in kbin : https://imgur.com/a/oFQnMqj

And if I click the link to ‘Browse more on the original instance’ I’m brought to this screen : https://imgur.com/a/uNCvirP

And there is no option to subscribe without creating an account on that instance.

I think I might have read you need to search with a specific phrase but I can’t find where I saw that.

@Zana

Sorry not sure I understand. Let me try another example and maybe that will solidify it.

I’d like to join this community: https://imgur.com/a/lJX8b7u

When I search @asklemmy in kbin.social is see this: https://imgur.com/a/oeDPZ8i

I tried modifying the link you previously posted to show as : https://kbin.social/m/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Which shows as : https://imgur.com/a/ysUutXx

But this community has far fewer subscriber and comments than the “original” Lemmy community, as seen here: https://imgur.com/a/givdaoE

So I am just trying to figure out… why? And how can I fix this? And how can I iron out the process? Thanks in advance!

@Lifecoach5000 As far as I can tell, kbin does work in a similar fashion. However, I am not sure if I am coming across two unique communities, depending on how I reach them (kbin search vs. Google search). Or if the discrepancy is because we are still in the infant stages of fediverse and not everything is going to mesh together 100% (e.g. some subscriber / comment totals might be off because they are not fully synced between instances yet?)

@stillnotahero

I think my biggest issue is using the kbin website (or PWA) and being able to search for a different ActivityPub-affiliated website, but stay within the kbin instance, so I can subscribe.

I have a post above with some screenshots to explain my question, here’s a link : https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/p/609057/-/reply/1082038

Well that would makes sense then, good to know. There are a lot of moving parts haha

Call me a bird, because I’m now migrating. Poor jokes aside, I’m hoping to ask a quick question. And I hope this is the place to do it. But since it’s a learning experience and I’m asking for help I won’t be offended if you tell me.

Anyways, I’ve been dabbling with kbin and Mastodon a bit. I thought I might like Mastodon since there is an iOS app. But I don’t quite like how it’s laid out. It seems like I need to follow people or things for them to show up for me. With Kbin it feels more like Reddit in the sense that there is an ‘all’ page comprised of many subsections to explore.

Am I correct in this assessment?

@Otome@kbin.social

that makes sense, thank you. Now, I’m starting to understand “instances” are like servers. I’ve picked kbin.social to start. Are we free, as users, to create as many Magazines as we’d like? Or does that put too much stress on the smaller server?

For instance, I saw that kbin.social had a ‘sports’ magazine, but not one for golf specifically. So I created one. Was that correct, or should I have found an instance of kbin that caters to sports?
